There’s a difference between spiritual growth and spiritual bypassing.

Spiritual bypassing uses spiritual concepts to avoid uncomfortable feelings, unresolved wounds, or psychological work.

It sounds like:
• “Everything happens for a reason” (to avoid grief)
• “Just raise your vibration” (to avoid the hard stuff)
• “Cut the cord” (to avoid relationship repair work)
• “It’s all a lesson” (to skip accountability)

Shadow work, on the other hand, is the practice of being with what is.

Not transcending it. Not rising above it. Not vibrating past it.
Being. With. It.

Feeling the rage without making it pretty.

Sitting with the grief without rushing to the lesson.

Acknowledging the pattern without spiritualizing it away.

Real transformation happens when you stop performing enlightenment and start being honest about where you are.

Save this if you need the reminder.

A friend told me yesterday he’s miserable in corporate America but terrified to leave because what else would he do for money?

I said something I’ve watched play out over and over: What’s not in alignment with your soul’s calling will never work out. It just won’t.

Here’s what I have seen with every business client I have ever had, their vibration rises at rapid rates. They were expanding into who they actually are.

And it’s basic physics: two things vibrating at different frequencies cannot stay together.

So these expansion periods initiate an energetic death cycle. Jobs fall apart. Relationships end. Things that used to work stop working. And you panic thinking you’re doing something wrong.

But you’re not. Everything that won’t serve you at that next phase literally can’t come with you. It’s dead weight.

This is West direction work …death, transformation, letting go. You can’t expand into the next version of yourself while dragging everything from the old version with you.

As a shaman, I hold space for this. Not just the manifestation part. The actual death part. The grief. The terror of not knowing what’s next.

Directional Alchemy starts THIS FRIDAY. Four weekends of deep transformational work. Payment plans available. DM me. 💛​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Nobody told me that my Harvard business strategy certifications and my shamanic practice were going to become the same thing.

Like, I thought I was building two separate skill sets. The “credible” one and the “woo” one. The one I’d lead with in boardrooms and the one I’d lead with in ceremony.

Turns out they’re just two languages saying the exact same thing.

In business strategy we talk about identifying your core values and letting them drive every decision. In shamanic work we call that soul alignment. Same thing. Different words.

In Harvard frameworks we talk about understanding the emotional landscape of your market before you ever create a product. In indigenous wisdom traditions we talk about learning to read energy in a room before you speak. Same thing. Different words.

Content marketing that actually works? It comes from the same place as genuine healing work. You stop performing and start transmitting. You stop trying to convince people and start trusting that the right people can feel what’s real.
Your self-knowledge is your strategy. The deeper you go into who you actually are, the clearer your message becomes. You don’t manufacture authority, you just stop hiding what you already know.

This is the whole thread running through everything I do …whether I’m working with a corporate team on burnout resilience or sitting in ceremony with someone doing the deepest work of their life.

It was never two things. It was always one.
If you’re curious what that looks like in practice, Directional Alchemy starts this Friday, Feb 20 =four weekends where your personal development and your purpose become the same conversation. DM me. 💛​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This week a regular cold turned into bronchitis bordering on pneumonia, and I knew immediately what was happening. My body was screaming at me to pay attention.

So I did what I do? I got up on my own session table with a rattle and set an intention to actually feel whatever wanted to come up. It was a lot of ugly crying and sorrow.

What surfaced was this deep, deep loneliness and grief from my adolescence. The years of not understanding why I felt so different, why connection felt so hard. I wasn’t diagnosed with Autism until I was 28, and all those years before left imprints.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches us that grief lives in the lungs. When we don’t allow ourselves to fully feel our sadness, when we push it down or keep moving forward without processing, it doesn’t disappear. It gets stored. And eventually, our bodies find a way to make us listen.

I’m sharing this because so many of us carry old pain in our bodies, grief we’ve never fully expressed, sadness we were told wasn’t acceptable, emotions we learned to swallow instead of release. Our bodies remember.

If you’ve been feeling called to do this kind of deep work, to explore what’s been stored in your body, to release what’s no longer serving you then I’m here for it.

I have space for 90-minute shamanic energy sessions.
And if you’re ready to go even deeper, Directional Alchemy starts next week (Feb 20-22). It’s a 4-weekend series throughout 2026 weaving indigenous wisdom traditions with transformational frameworks from my Harvard background.

DM me if you want to talk about either option. Your body’s waiting for you to say yes. 💛​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What Did People Actually Go to Shamans For?
Before shamanism became associated with jungle retreats, indigenous tribes went to their shamans for something very specific:
Energy restoration.

When someone was sick, stuck, or struggling, the shaman didn’t just treat symptoms. They identified where energy was blocked, leaked, or fragmented in the person’s field.

Here’s what that looked like:
🪶 Soul retrieval when trauma caused parts of your life force to disconnect (what we now call dissociation)
🪶 Extraction work to remove energetic intrusions that didn’t belong
🪶 Power retrieval to call back vital energy that’s been given away through boundary violations
🪶 Balancing the energy centers we now know as chakras or the biofield

Here’s where it gets interesting:
Modern physics is finally catching up. Quantum physics shows us that everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies. Your body isn’t just physical, it’s an electromagnetic field that can become congested, depleted, or misaligned.

When you come in for a shamanic energy session today, we’re doing the same work tribal shamans did.

We identify where your energy field is compromised. Clear blockages in your energy centers. Retrieve fragmented parts of your consciousness. Restore your natural frequency.

The difference? We understand the science behind it now. Your energy centers correspond to nerve plexuses and endocrine glands. When they’re blocked, it shows up as anxiety, chronic pain, stuck patterns, or physical illness.

The results are the same as 10,000 years ago:

People leave feeling lighter. Clear. Whole.
Because you didn’t just talk about your problems, you addressed them at the energetic level where they actually live.

This is shamanism in its truest form. No substances needed. Just ancient energy work meeting modern understanding.

Want to experience this? DM me about shamanic energy sessions or my 4-weekend Directional Alchemy program where you learn to work with your own energy field.

02/10/2026

Let’s clear up one of the biggest misconceptions about shamanism:
You don’t need plant medicine to be a shaman. Not even close. What you see on the first image is a comment I got today. And honestly, I get it a lot. So let’s talk about it.

I’ve never done ayahuasca or San Pedro due to health reasons, and that doesn’t make me any less of a shaman. In fact, plant medicines represent just a tiny fraction of shamanic practice.

Here’s what many people miss:
The tourists flying to South America for weekend ceremonies often skip the foundational transformational work, the medicine wheel teachings, the shadow integration, the energy mastery, the deep personal development that actually prepares you to hold and integrate powerful experiences.

The result?

Some people have beautiful experiences. Others? They return home fragmented, carrying unprocessed trauma into their daily lives with no framework to understand what happened to them.

The transformational work comes first.

When you walk the medicine wheel, when you do the inner work of healing and integration, when you develop your spiritual foundation, that’s where the real magic happens. That preparation isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

And here’s the truth that surprises people: This foundational work can be just as powerful and healing as any plant medicine ceremony. Actually, often more so because you’re building sustainable transformation, not just having a profound experience you can’t integrate.

Ready to experience this for yourself?

Join me February 20-22 in Boise, Idaho for a transformational personal development experience that honors the depth of shamanic practice. No substances needed…just you, the work, and the willingness to transform.

This is for anyone who’s ready to do real shamanic work, build a solid foundation, and create lasting change in their lives.

What to Expect from a Shamanic Energy Work Session ✨
🤷🏼‍♀️ Many of you have been asking what happens during shamanic energy sessions, so I wanted to walk you through the process!
The Session Flow:
Intake & Discovery 🗣️
We begin with a conversation to identify the specific patterns, blocks, or themes that keep showing up in your life. This helps me understand what your energy body needs most.
Preparation 🧘‍♀️
You’ll lie down comfortably while I open sacred space, creating a protected container for our work together.
Energy Work & Tracking 🌟
With your eyes closed, you simply relax and receive. While there may be some gentle dialogue and visualization, I’m primarily focused on:
• Tracking patterns within your energy body using my specialized skills
• Realigning your chakras
• Restoring proper flow to your energy centers
• Light touch work when needed - this may include gentle hand placement on the body for nervous system regulation, plus hands on the head at the beginning and end of the session
Integration 💫
By the session’s end, your body’s energy centers will be flowing more harmoniously, supporting your overall well-being. You will have an “integration piece” to work with after the session. This will naturally come into place for both of us.
You don’t need to do anything but show up and be open to receive. Your energy body knows how to heal - I’m simply here to facilitate that natural process.

02/06/2026

What’s on my heart this morning:

I’m watching the political climate unraveling right now. Old systems are going up in flames, truths spilling out, and something keeps striking me: these are the exact same dynamics women have been navigating in domestic violence situations for generations.

When I sought help as a victim of domestic violence, I encountered the same “good old boys club” mentality in the court system that I’d seen in the military, where my ex-husband’s superiors protected him from arrest despite knowing he was abusing me. Later, his wife died under mysterious circumstances, ruled a su***de, never investigated as murder.

People act shocked when institutions fail us. But these dynamics aren’t new, they’re ancient. The Code of Hammurabi created the first legal frameworks allowing men to own women through bride price and to enact violence against them legally. That’s where patriarchy began: when power became imbalanced.
And this isn’t about men versus women. It’s about patriarchal systems. You see them in religion, medical professionals, justice systems, military, government…that are crumbling because they’re no longer sustainable.

Our sacred rage is burning through the illusions right now, making space for something new.

I hear fear from some men who worry that women with power would abuse it the same way. But matriarchal systems aren’t about power over, they’re about power with. Power flowing through communities, hand in hand. When women have power, good things happen.

Maybe we need to reclaim the word “power” itself. Its root, potere, simply means “to be able.” The power to BE ABLE TO CHOOSE.

So what are we able to choose today? How are we choosing to create a better world? How does that start with us?

If you’re tired of the way things have always been done, if your family systems, your religion, the world’s direction no longer resonate… I invite you to try something different.

Join me February 20-22 for a weekend of earth based practices and wisdom traditions from around the world.

It’s time to unplug from the matrix. Unwind from technology, social media, the news cycle, and return to the ways of our ancestors.

To nourish our bodies.

To reconnect with the Earth, the elements, and the spirit of everything.

Message me to claim your spot in my weekend immersion.

What if stepping into a 3-day immersion is an act of rebellion?

We weren’t always this disconnected.

Our ancestors knew how to mark transitions, witness each other, and integrate experience into wisdom through multi-day immersive containers.

Then colonization took our traditions. Our rituals. Our embodied ways of knowing.

It told us transformation should happen in 50-minute increments. In isolation. On capitalism’s timeline.
But your body remembers another way.

When you take three days to:
→ Step away from productivity
→ Work in community
→ Use embodied practices
→ Honor your transition
→ Be witnessed

You’re not being self-indulgent.
You’re reclaiming what was taken.

Directional Alchemy is ancestral reclamation as much as it is personal transformation.

It’s remembering that real change requires time, space, practice, and presence, just like your ancestors knew.
